Wow, that is really sweet- red, blue, green, yellow, and white all mixed up in that fellow. Gorgeous!
I hope it is a fellow. I have quite a few females for him but not that many males if he turns out to be a she.I'm looking forward to his final change to see what he looks like. Right now he's so gorgeous and every day is like a new surprise.

I can imagine- he is incredible. I just purchased a mottled yellow male chondro for my female today; he will come next Thursday. But yours is something else- I've never seen so much color in a GTP! You are very lucky!!

Luckier than you know! The guy I bought the two from kept back one and it just turned green. He's ready to kill me now :) The sibling is bright yellow still and it's baby markings are fading out. No other real color anywhere. A half sibling to him is still yellow at more than 2 years old with just a stripe of green down the spine. It would be very cool if he stayed high yellow. Then I would have a high yellow and a high blue/melanistic animal.......The dream continues!

Who'd you get him from?
His name is Stephen Roebuck. He's got another clutch going now I think it is. I also bought an adult Aru from him several years ago.

Wow, I'll have to check him out. Does he have a website?
Wow that snake is incredible! I have never seen a GTP with such intense colouring. I'm really digging the black with the colourful mottling.
It's eyes are very cool too. GTPs are super high on my "gotta have it" list :) I'd really like to see your others.
I'll have to post the others. There's 9 of them so it takes a while! You can see them on my website under green tree pythons and then each individual type.

Ooooh, I know this is off-topic but I looked at your website MegF, and those snail-eating snakes are sooo adorable! I just love those stumpy faces! I think I am going to have to convince my fiance to let me get one if I ever see one. Sooo neat!!
They are cute. They are extremely rare though. I think myself and one other guy are the only ones in the US with them. He just had a gravid female (Cirrus) lay eggs when she arrived. Out of the 5, 2 hatched and are taking snails. The first ever born in the US! I've got mine paired up right now, but I think I may have missed the breeding window for the Suriname variety. Mine laid slugs when she arrived in August and Dan's laid eggs in July I think it was. So if she doesn't become gravid this year, I'll pair them up earlier next year. They only eat slugs and snails, although mine take f/t slugs very nicely. I got a can of snails...unfortunately they were chopped up and not whole like the guy said they were, but one of them ate them. Once I separate the two I'll be able to find out who did. If I can get them eating the whole canned snails, then they will be more viable for the pet trade. They are still so hard to find...especially ones that live.

Wow, yeah, I don't think I've ever seen them for sale before. But man, they are cool.
Occasionally you see them on Kingsnake, but the first one I got was so thin that he died within the week. He was too weak to eat. The female was gravid when she was shipped to me but laid slugs and then next female arrived dead with two slugs laid in transit and two still in her. Very sad. Got the male finally and he is thriving and my newest female came from Dan. We're still feeling out how to do things. I keep them like the chondros, only in the smaller cages of the cornsnakes. They are only about 24-30" long. The females are larger than the males. One of them ate from my hand this evening. I think it was the female. I wasn't able to see her tail though, so I'm not certain. She's missing part of hers.

Wow! Them snail eaters are cute! Do you just buy tinned snails? Please tell me you can breed with snails?
Shaun and Hillary: Thanks! Barney is a favorite and was bred to Tempest this year. I have 3 eggs about to hatch.
Geckogal: I find slugs and then I freeze them to last thru the winter when everything goes dormant here. I haven't been able to get them to take canned snails as yet, but there's very few types out there and most are in bits instead of whole.They take f/t slugs just fine and I can either find or purchase live snails that they eat. I don't know what you mean about breed with snails? Do you mean breed snails for food..then yes you can, but I don't. If you mean breed them with snails? No!

Wow! That is a mouth dropper!
They are a lot of fun and pretty mellow animals. At least mine is. You have to keep reminding yourself that they can hurt you so you don't take shortcuts. When they don't strike at you all the time, it's easy to get complacent. A no-no when you're working with hots.
Will0W783
03-05-10, 01:51 PM
I love eyelash vipers- so pretty. I'm like shaunyboy in that I can't believe something so tiny and adorable could kill me, but oh it can. It's a shame- they look so cute! I don't think I will ever let myself own hots, just because all it takes is one tiny slip-up and I could be dead. I can't imagine ever wanting to take that chance. But I do love to look at pictures of them and to see them at shows and in zoos.
They are not as bad as all that. They are relatively small so their venom output is not huge and the toxicity is not considered high either. However, if you have a sensitivity you are certainly at risk of more problems, and the hemotoxic reaction can give you tissue necrosis. Not something anyone wants!
Will0W783
03-06-10, 08:45 PM
Oh no, no tissue necrosis for me, thank you very much. But they are gorgeous and maybe someday....never know. But I can't imagine feeling confident enough ever. I would prefer something like Sparks. I am so jealous. My 3 GTPs are pretty colorful and I love them all, but God, Sparks is incredible!!!! If you breed him/her I definitely want a baby or two. :)
Well that will be a while! She's only a yearling and I'm a conservative feeder so most of my females aren't ready to breed until they are 4-5 years old. I don't want to risk the prolapse again. Once is enough!
Will0W783
03-07-10, 06:09 PM
Oh I do not blame you. I would not want to chance it and breed any snake too soon. My female GTP Mystique is 4 now and a fattie. I put her and the male Archimedes into a bigger tank last night and this morning they were locked up. He sure didn't waste any time....didn't even buy her a drink, the tramp....lmao :) He is 7 and a proven breeder, so I doubt either of them will have any problems, but I'm watching them like a hawk and keeping my fingers crossed. :)
Hope you have good luck! I'm waiting for my 3 eggs to hatch...it's giving me grey hair!
awsome mite phase pattaern,
wish i have like it some day
Unfortunately she died this last month. I was devastated. Looks like a massive obstruction. Her kidneys, liver and heart did not look normal and she also had ulcerations in her stomach. Not sure if the obstruction caused perhaps sepsis that affected the other organs or if the organ failure caused the obstruction. It was mostly hair and not a whole lot else. It sucked......

Oh Meg, I am so sorry to hear about Sparks. She was a beautiful chondro. Unfortunately chondros are tough. I lost my girl Mystique a few months ago due to ovary problems. It is always devastating to lose one, but we can take comfort in knowing we gave them the best lives possible while we had them.

i am so sorry to hear she died.i only came back onto the thread to ask for recent pictures.my heart goes out to you.
shaun
I'll have to see what I've got that was more recent. I know I took pictures. I've unfortunately lost several snakes this year. Something I've never had happen in the 7 years I've been keeping them. Sparks sibling also died ( not unexpected due to the fact that she had had kidney issues when she came to me) I found one of the adult amazons I produced dead in her cage and then Sparks came up acting strangely a week later. By that time I was starting to be paranoid. Then a baby amazon that I was getting ready to ship came up dead. That one went off for pathology with the vet. It was inconclusive. Pneumonia-no bacteria or virus present-no signs of respiratory issues like open mouth breathing or snot, fatty liver-which the vet says is from not eating...this baby never refused a meal in her entire life. She ate from the first time I offered. Her only refusal was 2 days before her death. The vet can't explain either finding. The vet seems to think it was just coincidental and bad luck. The only thing I'm greatful for is that it's not IBD or Crypto. He said it's also good that it's not all the same thing going thru my snake room. I cleaned all tubs out again with chlorhexidine and bumped up my temps a bit although I've been using that rack in that room for litters and clutches for the last 3 1/2 years without issue. It will be a few more months before I breath easy and feel safe to sell my other babies. I put payments on hold and told them I wouldn't take anything else until I was sure the animals were healthy. I don't think that Sparks was part of the group deaths though. Rolo and the baby were a different story but when I found Rolo it was too late to do a necropsy. She was already beginning to have decomposition from laying on the heat mat all day while I was at work. She seemed fine up until then though and there wasn't anything visibly wrong with her. She was a gorgeous animal of 3 years old that I produced myself and I was planning on breeding her with my orange amazon Katari next year. Sigh....it completely is the worst ever year!
shaunyboy
05-20-10, 08:00 AM
i'm really sorry to hear of the crappy year your having.its the not knowing that drives me nuts.i hate it when the vet says its inconclusive results.
what im presently going through aint much compared to your year.
ive just had keyhole surgery done on my jags lung.long story short.so far he's had.
4 week baytril treatment
a 20 injection course of antibiotics
12 week course of baytril
keyhole surgery
just got his lab results back this morning.there is no bacteria present in the swabs taken from his lung.i really thought today i'd hear its such and such bacteria and heres the specific antibiotic to combat it.
for now he is on a 3 week course of baytril to make sure he doesnt get any infections from his operation.also 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes at night on a nebuliser filled with f10.all in ive to give him a total of 3 weeks of this latest treatment.then back to my vet to see where we go from here.i'm lucky enough to have one of the most qualified reptile vets in the uk practising just 5 miles from my house.its just so frustrating having a great vet and all these modern tecniques yet my jags getting worse.after his op he had a slight respiratory whistle when he breathed.now he's back to sneezing a fair amount of clear mucas out 2 to 3 times a day.when i tubed him last night he was really gurgley,sounds almost like he's drowning in his own saliva.which is pretty much whats happening.the vet showed me the keyhole surgery results and you can clearly see little blobs of clear water like mucas all through the lung.well ive got another 10 days before ive to call back my vet so fingers crossed his present treatment cures the last of this problem.

Shauny,
Sounds like you are going thru it too! I've been dealing with a recurring eye infection in my false water cobra for about 6 months now. We tried surgery, surgery with antibiotics after, surgery with culturing....what did we get? Yeast! Never been a case of yeast in the eyes for reptiles. Surgery again, anti-fungal eye drops thru a larger hole we cut in her eyecap. Covered with "contact" lens made of plastic googly eyes and tegaderm. Bugger rubbed them off by day 2. I told her she was being pissy! She didn't care. So it was attempt to get the drops into the now dry eyecap. Waiting for a shed to see if she does still have an infection. Not sure what I'll do if she does! She's been very good about all of it all and is still eating like a champ. What a trooper she is. Hope your Jag does well.
Will0W783
05-21-10, 09:26 AM
Aww, Oceana is still having trouble then? Poor thing; I hope when she sheds there is no more infection. She and your male (can't remember his name) are absolutely stunning.
shaunyboy
05-21-10, 09:59 AM
my jag only went off his food for 3 or 4 weeks in the middle of all his treatments.he's hammering 2 small rats a week just now and is back up to his usuall size.apart from this water in the lung carry on he's 100% perfect.he eats,sheds and poops as he should.he was even frisky (couldnt think of a better word,haha) all through breeding season.nothing seems to get this big guy down.this has only made me more determined to cure him.i plan to breed him to a female diamond/jungle next year to hopefully produce some nice diamond/jungle/jaguars.so that will be his treat from me if he gets this all sorted out,the big guy deserves it.
cheers shaun
p.s.your eye cap problem.theres stuff we use over here thats great at moisturing and removing stuck eye caps.i'm wondering if it would help you moisten your cobras dry eye.over here its called VISCOTEARS the active ingrediant is carbomer.
i too am wondering what im going to do if the vet ends up telling me we cant stop this problem from reoccuring.he says it might be a couple of other things that could be irratating his lung hence causing the fluid in it.
I'll look it up. The problem is that eyecaps are quite good at doing what they do...which is keep the eye underneath from being damaged or injured. They are quite hard and almost completely impermeable. Getting the medication under them to fight the yeast infection has been the difficult part the whole time. This last surgery we opened up a fairly large window in the lens so that we could more easily put the drops under them. Unfortunately, this leaves the eye underneath vulnerable so I made contact lenses to go over it from some plastic eyes for dolls. I would stick them on with tegaderm. After she came out of sedation the next day she proceded to rub the covers off, which allowed the tissue underneath to dry and the lens caps to collapse. I still covered them but every day when I got home from work, they would be off. I tried everything and the more I tried to put on there, the more she rubbed. I soak her in her water for a bit and inject the drops into the lenscap but now she's getting ready to shed and we'll have to see how they look. Not sure this worked either. The only good part is that she has been so cooperative otherwise. I've been able to do all the doctoring by myself without having to recruit my husband to hold her. No mean feat considering she's 7 ft. long and could potentially hurt me. She's never once threatened unless she was hungry. I really love that girl so I'm hoping this will take care of the problem. I hope your snake does well also. At least he's eating like she is. That always makes me feel better if they can stay in decent condition.
shaunyboy
05-22-10, 08:42 AM
i'll pm you a link to the thread on retained eye cap removal.it will give you a better idea of the product i'm trying to describe.its amazing at moistening eye caps.
re help ive had to enlist my wife as a helper.the jags getting that used to his treatments he uses his prehensile tail to try and pull his tube out.that or he wraps around one of my forearms disabling one of my arms.i like to think he knows i'm trying to help him.apart from his tail protests he pretty much lets me get on with it.

And they say snakes are dumb!
talking about snake intelligence
its only morelia i keep and i can say from experience that they are very clever snakes.ive heard retics can be extremely intelligent.
the reason i chose to work with morelia is their beauty but equally for how active and intelligent they are.i like working with active snakes,it makes it all the more interesting watching them and working out why they behave certain ways.imo to a certain extent they use their prehensile tails like a human would use their hand.
ive been doing a lot of thinking lately as to which new species i'd like to work with.morelia will be a hard act to follow but i'm sure there will be something out there that will be equally as interesting to me.retics are too big for me to work with unfortunately.so my hunt goes on.any suggestions would be appreciated.anything under 10 feet when adult would be my size limit.

have you considered super dwarf retic,the guy i got my dwarf retic from had SDs as well,they were7 foot for the male, 8' and a bit for the full grown female. im sure different beeders have better strains than others tho. my snakes mother was full grown at 11 feet the father was 9.5'.i mean full grown as in they were like 6 years old so they wont be getting much bigger anymore :P i know they never actually stop growing.
Will0W783
05-23-10, 06:38 PM
I have a super dwarf female and she is great. She's around 8-8.5 feet long and probably 5 inches in diameter. She weighs 21 pounds. She's got one of the best snake temperaments ever- I let the neighbor's kids pet her and play with her when I bring her out, and she's been invited to several photo shoots with models, which she did very well. She's one of my favorites and really satisfies my love of the gorgeous retic patterns without that massive, hard-to-handle size.
I also like the Amazon tree boas. They are far more active and much more alert snake. They track and watch everything that goes on around them as soon as they are out of their cages or even when in them. I have several that are very tame and in general, my one female seems to produce consisitantly tame babies. My adult that just died recently was so tame I could let children hold her without worry. She's just like her mother. It's too bad you're not into hots because there are a number of species that are quite "smart" and figure things out easily. My copperhead is a very alert little girl and I think if she had opposing thumbs we'd all be in trouble. I've also heard from keepers that Cobras are some of the smartest snakes around.

05-24-10, 07:29 AM
many thanks for your suggestions,it will give me something to start looking into.re hots my households too busy.ive got 4 kids and 3 grandkids with a fourth on the way.my house resembles the local youth club most days once all the kids friends turn up.if i'm honest i'm not sure if i would be confident enough to work with hots.on top of that theres only one place in the whole of the uk that works with anti venom.if i did go for hots i must admit ive got a soft spot for vipers.the head shape and eyes are simply awsome.i dont go into the hots section of the forum as i'd just be teasing myself,ha,ha.i never gave dwarf retics a thought doh! i'll look into them and atb's.i'm going to trim my morelia down to the few i'd never part with and take it from there.my heads a bit all over the place as to what i get next.i even enquired about some san fransisco garters.INFERNALIS on here has me interested in the wee guys,especially with them not taking up much room.for today anyway i'm thinking of some garters and also getting what we've just spoke about atb's or dwarf retics.its about time i got something other than morelia.
cheers shaun
The nice thing about eyelash vipers and copperheads is that they either require just supportive care or the same anti venom for rattlesnakes. We have rattlesnake antivenom here as a regular thing in most hospitals since the copperhead and the rattlesnake are indigenous. Copperheads generally require no other treatment than supportive. A lady came in with a bite the other day and I think they gave her something. Put her in the ICU. I'm not sure they read the protocols and tend to over react. I have a protocol book and if (hopefully not) I ever get bitten, I will be bringing it with me.

She started to shed last night but I think I'm going to have to help her. Being blind, she isn't seeing the rock and stuff so she's trying to remove it on the side of a smooth plastic tub. I'll soak her and help her today when I get home from work and then I'll check out her eyes. If it doesn't seem to have come off, I'll try that stuff you suggested. I think I can get it here over the counter at a pharmacy.

poor girl,shes lucky to have someone like you as her keeper pal.if you cant get that stuff meg theres a product called ky jelly,its a human lubricant.just apply a wee blob on the affected area and let it soak in.you can use it as often as required.its basically just a moisturisng jelly with nothing harmfull in it.it will really moisten it up enough where you or her will be able to get it off.
all the best for tonight

She's fine other than the eyes. There's still an eyecap that's on but I can't get it loose as it seems to still be attached to the new one. I will probably wait another shed to see what the eyes look like. They are still white underneath but I'm not certain that it's the infection or just her damaged eyes I'm seeing. I'm not sure what I'll do if she has this come back.

its the same with my jaguar meg.he is still getting nebulised for 15minutes twice a day.its keeping it from getting any worse but its still there.his lung is getting irrataited by something and its causing the mucas to form.there is no bacteria present in the mucas so im at a loss as where to go from here.his key hole surgery showed a nice healthy pink lung.idf it didnt have tiny little blobs of mucas he'd be 100%.hes hammering anything i put in front of him,shedding 100% perfect and complete.vet said theres a few more things we can try so i'll let you know how that goes.thats been over 9 months as said apart from this leading a normal life.i cant keep him nebulised for ever so a decision will have to be made re treatment the next few months.he's such a happy snake even with all thats going on.i'll have my fingers crossed that cap comes off next shed.

I can't remember what you're nebulizing with but there's a stuff out there that people recommend....a N 90 something I think. If you know what I'm talking about and already used it, say so, but if you don't, I'll see if I can find the thread on my forums.

Yup, that's the stuff..knew it had a number and letter of some type! Have you looked into a colloidal silver type nebulizer? One of the gals I trim horses for had a fungal infection in her lungs and that's what saved her.

thanks for the suggestion meg.
cheers shaun.
Unless your vet is into homeopathics he'll probably not go for it. Homeopaths use colloidal silver quite often and it's very effective. You have to be careful if using it a long time as it turns the skin blue if you ingest it a lot. Shouldn't do that in the snake though and it's being inhaled. I know she took grapefruit seed extract orally and the colloidal silver as an inhaler. You can put Grapefruit seed extract in his water if you want. It is a natural antibiotic. 2-3 drops per 8 oz. of water. I'm currently giving that to my false water cobra and my eyelash viper.

Unless your vet is into homeopathics he'll probably not go for it. Homeopaths use colloidal silver quite often and it's very effective. You have to be careful if using it a long time as it turns the skin blue if you ingest it a lot. Shouldn't do that in the snake though and it's being inhaled. I know she took grapefruit seed extract orally and the colloidal silver as an inhaler. You can put Grapefruit seed extract in his water if you want.

She's fine other than the eyes. Ate like a champ the other night so she's not too uncomfortable. We'll see what the next shed brings. The herbalist should have the grapefruit seed extract but if not, regular health food stores should or you can get it online.
